Abstract

A glove for gripping a small object is disclosed. A glove for gripping a small object comprises: a glove main body comprising a finger portion for covering a finger; and a thimble portion comprising a thumb thimble portion and a forefinger thimble portion. Each of the thumb thimble portion and the forefinger thimble portion comprises a first layer facing the back of a hand and a second layer being opposite to the first layer. A front side of the first layer and a front side of the second layer are adhered to each other and form an edge line. A rear side of the thimble portion is open to be mounted on the finger portion. A right-and-left center line of an outer surface of the first layer of the thumb thimble portion and a right-and-left center line of an outer surface of the first layer of the forefinger thimble portion are aligned with each other within an error margin of about 0 mm to about 0.5 mm, when a user wear the glove and aligns a front end portion of the thumb thimble portion with a front end portion of the forefinger thimble portion.

         2 . The glove according to  claim 1 , wherein an angle between the right-and-left center line of the thumb thimble portion and the right-and-left center line of the forefinger thimble portion is in a range from about 170° to about 190° in a front view where the first layers are shown, and
 the thumb thimble portion and the forefinger thimble portion have a common tangent plane at the contact point between the both of the right-and-left center lines of the thumb thimble portion and the forefinger thimble portion. 
 
     
     
         3 . The glove according to  claim 2 , wherein thimble portion has a symmetrical structure with respect to the right-and-left center line. 
     
     
         4 . The glove according to  claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the second layer is smaller than a thickness of the first layer. 
     
     
         5 . The glove according to  claim 4 , wherein the edge line has a thickness of about 0.001 mm to about 0.5 mm. 
     
     
         6 . A glove for gripping a small object, comprising:
 a glove main body comprising a finger portion for covering a finger; and   a thimble portion comprising a thumb thimble portion and a forefinger thimble portion,   wherein each of the thumb thimble portion and the forefinger thimble portion comprises a first layer facing the back of a hand and a second layer being opposite to the first layer,   a front side of the first layer and a front side of the second layer are adhered to each other and form an edge line,   a rear side of the thimble portion is open to be mounted on the finger portion, and   the glove has a stylus pen function.   
     
     
         7 . The glove according to  claim 6 , wherein at least a part of a portion where the second layer of the forefinger thimble portion is mounted has a hole, and the finger of a user is in direct contact with the forefinger thimble portion, and
 the forefinger thimble portion comprises conductive resin, and a current of the finger of the user is transferred through the forefinger thimble portion.   
     
     
         8 . The glove according to  claim 6 , further comprising a stylus pen mounted in the thimble portion,
 wherein the stylus pen comprises a battery and a tip where the current is transferred from the battery.   
     
     
         9 . The glove according to  claim 6 , further comprising a stylus pen mounted on an outer surface of the thimble portion,
 wherein the stylus pen comprises a battery and a tip where the current is transferred from the battery.   
     
     
         10 . The glove according to  claim 8 , wherein a front end portion of the tip has a shape same as that of a front end portion of the thimble portion corresponding to the tip. 
     
     
         11 . The glove according to  claim 9 , wherein a front end portion of the tip has a shape same as that of a front end portion of the thimble portion corresponding to the tip. 
     
     
         12 . A glove for gripping a small object, comprising:
 a glove main body comprising a finger portion for covering a finger; and   a thimble portion comprising a thumb thimble portion and a forefinger thimble portion,   wherein each of the thumb thimble portion and the forefinger thimble portion comprises a first layer facing the back of a hand and a second layer being opposite to the first layer,   a front side of the first layer and a front side of the second layer are adhered to each other and form an edge line,   a rear side of the thimble portion is open to be mounted on the finger portion,   the thimble portion is mounted on the finger portion of the glove main body by an injection molding, and   a right-and-left center line of an outer surface of the first layer of the thumb thimble portion and a right-and-left center line of an outer surface of the first layer of the forefinger thimble portion are aligned with each other within an error margin of about 0 mm to about 0.5 mm, when a user wear the glove and aligns a front end portion of the thumb thimble portion with a front end portion of the forefinger thimble portion.
